Bug ID: 53896
           Summary: World of Warcraft (Turtle WoW variant) often on start
                    completely freezes my laptop
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.20
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org
          Reporter: wine_bugzilla@sctb.ch
      Distribution: ---
So, I've been running the original World of Warcraft 1.12.1 for many years, and
for about a year now, the variant of this which the Turtle WoW team have been
modifying.
As of about two weeks ago, starting WoW often - not always, and I think I can
normally get *one* start okay - completely and totally locks up my laptop.
Even the caps-lock key light stops working.  I have to reboot.
There was no release from Turtle WoW at this time.  I regularly update my
laptop, so I can't say what was or was not changed in Debian/XFCE around that
time.
I will note one other potentially related issue, as it may be help to know of
it it used to be that I could alt-tab in and out of WoW just fine (well, almost
fine - after about five or so swaps, the textures on the environment would all
go black), but recently - I would say for a bit longer than the freezing up
problem - if I alt-tab out now, then when I come back, everything is a mess. 
All the textures, the lighting, it's all garbled.
This is all in full-screen mode.  I'm using XFCE on Debian.  The other apps I
use with WINE are desktop apps (a text editor, a calculator), and they have no
problems.  I use no other graphics-using software on WINE.
1. Linux book9 5.18.0-0.deb11.4-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Debian
5.18.16-1~bpo11+1 (2022-08-12) x86_64 GNU/Linux
2. It's quite an old laptop, a Samsung ATIV book 9, using an i5-5200U.
